Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study examines the psychometric properties of a revised form of the Sahin-Francis Scale of Attitude towards Islam comprising only positive valence items. Data provided by 189 Sunni students in Malaysia (41 males and 148 females) support the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of this instrument and commend it for application in further studies.
